N3 Toll Concession warns of heavy traffic between Gauteng, KZN
Motorists were warned of congested roads on the N3 on Sunday as holidaymakers left KZN ahead of the opening of schools.
Thousands are also expected to travel home after attending the Durban July on Saturday.
N3 Toll Concession COO Thania Dhoogra said traffic volumes are expected to increase from Sunday midday, with busy conditions likely to continue throughout the afternoon.
Dhoogra also called on motorists to take precautionary measures following warnings of an intense cold front affecting most areas along the N3.
The South African Weather Service has warned that parts of the country will experience bitterly cold temperatures and strong winds over the next few days.
"Please heed warnings and always adapt your driving style to the prevailing conditions. For your safety and comfort, please keep extra blankets, warm clothes, emergency medication, sufficient water, food supplies, a torch, and mobile phone chargers in your vehicles," said Dhoogra.
"Adverse weather conditions do not only cause discomfort but could also lead to traffic delays, congestion, or even road closures in the interest of general road and public safety.”
